Head in the clouds.

Ridding out the week on Rodeo Drive, I would like to finish the send off with this enchanting composition by our friends at Hermès. Now I know that this ostrich is sticking her-I feel like it is a woman, call me crazy, head in the sand, but look closely and she is diving right into a lux weekender bag. To me Svettelana-yes, ok, I named her, has her head in the clouds! Heaven if you will, and you better. . . Now like Svette, I am off to have a fabulous weekend! See you all Monday! 

Birds of a feather flock together,

Orange you glad to see me?

First off, WE ARE BACK! Second, we are back with a vengeance. We will be tackling topics untouched by others, giving you more insider information, reaching more readers, and keeping you up to date and entertained by the thoughts that run through my head and into yours!

Just one question: Orange you glad to see me? It's the end of August, which marks two things: my golden birthday (26!) and the shipping of the September issues of all our religious books: Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, Vanity Fair. . .and on. Inside each of the manuscripts of life, you will find the newly appointed print campaigns from the French house of Hermès. Like an assassin in fashion, these images tell the story of a woman getting exactly what she wants.

Let's get real, we all want what is inside that orange box- from cuffs to scarfs all the way down to the iconic Birkin bag, this wrapping is a treasure trove.

At Hermès a perfected shade of orange (which they designed and now own) is a throwback to the orange bags that they would send customers home with back in 1837 when the house was founded, the brightly colored paper sacks were the least expensive. Ironically, it is now the most expensive color to carry out of Paris or any Hermès boutique.

Au revoir!

Ty

That's a Wrap!

So...we all know what season is right around the corner...

that's right...the Spring|Summer Tyrant Collection launch of coarse! The hard work and preparation that goes into designing a new collection is unmentionable...

I still am baffled at the energy and effort that it takes to create an entire collection! To search and become inspired. To love something enough, and I am a picky son-of-a-...picky person, to put it out for the masses to purchase. To put yourself on the line..to be mocked, ridiculed, loathed, or as we always hope, adored, loved, cherished...worshiped?

I have gone too far...

But rest assured, we have done it. The new line is going to be incredible! Brandon and I are introducing a new medium..new theme and...new COLOR!!

Stay tuned to find out sneak peeks of our extension of body and mind!

Don't think that during this last month we haven't made time for us...though there may be a stack of WWD on the desk. I have still found the time to share with you my favorite time piece. The Hermès Cape Cod double wrap watch. Time keeping has never been more enjoyable.

With Brandon's brilliant time keeping skills, we managed to have our dear friend Britt over to our place. With her, she brought a Mary Popins-esque bag full of butter, butter and more butter (the three main ingredients of the French.) Fortunately for us, Britt has been to Paris several times and is a renowned chef. For dinner she whipped up, Coq au Vin with Cauliflower Gratin. AHMAZING... anything with a pinot noir sauce and I am in! Dessert consisted of Pavlova and a braised raspberry topping, dolloped with hand whipped cream.. We died. Wow, my mouth just filled with saliva typing that!

Bon Appètit!

Water into Gaultier?

Jean Paul Gualtier himself.

Picture this...Transsexuals, large plus sized models, heavily tattooed bodies...all down the same runway. Now do I have your attention? No. But Parisian rebel Jean Paul Gaultier does. JPG is one of the most provocative designers in fashion. At the same time, he is one of the only fashion houses that is running a lucrative business. Hermès, reported an increase at the end of last quarter. One of the only luxury brands to do so. While his shows strike controversy, his numbers strike gold.

JPG began his career in 1970 working as an assistant to Pierre Cardin. Apprenticing at Pierre, Jean Paul launched his own label six years later. Continuing to drop jaws up and down the front row of his shows, he landed a monumental position in his career...Designing the infamous cone bra the Madonna wore during her Blond Ambition tour.

Creating a hype about his lifestyle and loves, Hermès Paris collected him to take on their collections in 2003. Redes

igning iconic bags such as the Birkin into a clutch. That is not the only iconic good Jean Paul reformed. In 2009 JPG got his icy hands around Evian waters design. My first piece of Jean Paul Gaultier coincidentally is the Evian bottle(that I wont open). Next up I am dying to get my hands on his signature. Stripes! Le French Sailor Stripe is a staple among his elements of form. Until next time, Au Revoire! and ahoy there sailor!

Madonna in the cone!

"Love me or Hate me"...Olivia is still our Obsession

Miss Olivia Palermo might just be the most loved, hated, smitten, discarded, and adored lady on reality T.V. right now. Regardless of what you think of her personality, she has without a doubt, the most coveted style out there. Her perfectly pitched pairings of a H&M silk ruffle top blouse, Dior cigarette jeans, YSL pumps, chunky statement necklace( designed by her aunt who makes costume jewelry) that she finishes off by caring her understated but clearly there Hermès Birkin.

Raised on the island of Manhattan, in one of the classiest neighborhoods, The Upper East Side, Olivia fine tuned her style. Taking inspiration from the streets of Paris, London, and her own New York City. Miss Palermo's signature look is defiantly updated men's wear. Mixing an evening tuxedo with her femme fatale demure, add a statement necklace or cocktail ring, throw a Chloè satchel on your lower fore arm and there you are. Almost... complete the "Oliviazation" with a blunt double dose of boot black eyeliner from MAC over a nude sheen of eye shadow, and glaze your lips with NARS orgasm. Dust MAC's Sushi Flower eye shadow onto your apples to get that perfect refreshed "ready for a day at ELLE" look.

Now...are there any more questions as to why this doll is Tyrant Style's Girl of the moment?

I didn't think so.

Fashionably Late

I'll be honest...I have a problem. A problem forgetting to accomplish tasks, forgetting times, deadlines, even lunches. Running late can sometimes be parallel with Ty. Fortunate for me there is a recent gem that I have come across. A gorgeous piece of hand crafted goat leather forged into the incredible,"Globe Trotter" by Hermés. In the iconic orange this is one piece that I will never let leave my side. To jot down life's dates, there is only one instrument for the job. A true investment piece. The Montblanc Amadeus Mozart ball pen. Platinum constricts the black resin to give this the ultimate in lux. The white stylised six pointed star upon the cap represents the snow cap on top of Mount Mont Blanc in the French Alps. Another engraving are the letters "4810" the mountains height. Keeping this agenda and power tool at bay, will keep you right where you belong. Wherever that may be.
